Don’t forget Beth Israel Milton. Its where I usually ended up before moving out of Quincy. Regarding that spot next to Quincy High, my gut says its probably wetland of some sort? It certainly is more central than Crown Colony, but CC has fantastic highway access and Burgin running up into the...

Its a shame that they tore down the hospital - I lived just a few blocks away, and appreciated having it so close - but is very much a very suburban neighborhood. Not only that, but there’s loads of quite expensive homes just over on Adams St. Most of the denser developments in Quincy should...

You specifically cite where the article mentions the racial angle and then say I’m the one that has brought that into the conversation. Just because it doesn’t specify one specific racial group, but a variety of non-white groups, does not change the fact that the article presents this as a...

rte 3/6 is an expressway on both sides.

I just picked in between because it sounded good. The main point is that I don’t see it making much sense, on its own, to have bike/pedestrian traffic following rte 3/6 and 25/28, where both are divided highways, and mostly controlled access (28 is a bit of a hybrid at that point).

I can see an issue with so explicitly making this an issue for specific ethnic groups common in just the specific neighborhoods in question. As a pilot program, fine, but if they’re going to do this, they should roll it out to the entire system.

I know it won’t happen, but from a purely non-motor vehicle perspective, I’d prefer a pedestrian/bike-only bridge in between the two highway bridges, to keep the highway traffic as far away from cyclists and pedestrians as possible.

About time, its supposed to have been starting this spring, anyway.

Rail is nice, but you can't rely on that for the primary means of connection with an entire peninsula.

It all looks very nice. I’m sure a few stories will get chopped off all of it, but great to see this level of development. I’ve been saying for years that the contrast between one side of Hancock and the other is just begging for redevelopment. Kinda sad to be moving out soon.

Depends on your definition. But having just sold a townhouse in Quincy last month (presuming fate has no surprises in store for us), I can say that we missed the absolute peak of demand by a couple months. Still got a good price, but do kinda wish our realtor had kicked things into high gear a...

Huh, I just assumed it didn’t go down to Providence at all, for reasons. This is great! A pitch so reasonable, they didn’t just do it in the past, but they kept doing it!

I was actually thinking strictly for events at Gillette. Anyone who wants to beat the traffic going north has the option, but going south, they don’t.

So, this has probably already been discussed plenty of times - with F-List explaining why its a bad idea. But I’ll ask anyway: could we extend service south from Foxboro, down to Mansfield and maybe as far south as Providence?

A question rather than a pitch: what could be done to improve transit on Cape Cod - with an emphasis on making tourists less of a traffic nightmare?

Thanks (as well to @Arlington and @BostonTrainGuy ). For a clarification regarding freight (or commuter!), I meant across Amtrak, not just on the NEC.

Two questions primarily for @F-Line to Dudley (but anyone else can certainly chime in!), and I’m sure he’s already written a short novel on these exact matters, so just a link to any such previous answers is more than enough: - What are the easiest ways the Acela could shave time off its runs...

I meant for the theoretical US maglev line.

Well, this is a discussion of future tech, so it is not unreasonable to imagine various costs coming down. That aside, do you happen to have projected ridership?

I would certainly count underground stations as a tunneling cost, but I’m surprised at how high the earthquake measures drive up the tunnel costs.
